Regina
I sat down across from Snow knowing we need to talk and thankfully Emma gave us some privacy. I know she is not happy about her mom but she will get over it.
"What I did was wrong and I am really sorry" she said and I nodded.
"I know but I get it. I don't have the best track record and if Henry brought home a girl with even half my record I would try to get rid of her too. I get that you don't want me being the other mother of her kid, I do. But i'm not going to hurt her." I said. I have done far worse in my time and I'm glad she realizes she did something wrong and stopped this before things got too out of control. I wasn't that strong.
"It was still wrong"
"It was and do not use my son again like that" I warned. I can forgive what she did to me but it's a lot worse that she used my son thoughtfulness against me.
"I feel awful about that… I wasn't in my right mind. I promise I will figure out what I have to do to reverse the curse. " she said and I nodded.
"Rumple's looking into it."
"I mean there is always true love kiss" she said and I rolled my eyes. If what Henry says (or the book, i guess) is true the curse should have been broken. Well hell I guess I'll humor it. I played with the ring on my finger and it slipped right off. Me and Snow looked at each other awkwardly.
"Well that was easy… too easy. It was enacted before right… i'm not that great at spells" she said and I shook my head.
"No definitely enacted before." I said. The book was right.
"Kissing a lot of true loves?" she asked winking at me.
"Apparently" I muttered under my breath. Well now what? I wouldn't have paid Rumple if I realized all I had to do was kiss her.
"Henry" she asked. First it has to be romantic true love and the kid has shied away from me kissing him for a long time now. As he says he's not a baby anymore.
"I guess" I lied. Well I kissed your daughter and apparently she is my true love. Well now what?
Emma
I went into my new room and grabbed my hidden stash of chocolate that I so desperately need right now. She was still pissed at her mom even if Regina forgave her.
I was in the middle of eating way too much chocolate when Regina walked in. Regina laughed at the sight of me shook her head.
"Don't judge me! I'm carrying your baby" I stated and Regina put her hand up in surrender.
"Anyways…" Regina said holding up the ring off her finger.
"How?" I asked confused. What would have broken the curse? They didn't do anything yet.
"Don't know, I was playing with it a bit and it just came off" Regina shrugged knowing what this meant.
"You were playing with our engagement ring?" I joked knowing it will get under skin and Regina rolled her eyes annoyed at the statement.
"Please don't ever call it that again" I laughed smiling innocently at her. After all it kinda is.
"Well what would have broke the spell? Rumple was stuck."
"Well there always the good old fashion solution" Regina said.
"True loves kiss, I thought that you said that wouldn't work" I asked shocked. Could this mean i'm her true love?
"It always works but it wouldn't work for family love only romantic love and only on my side… Which I assumed I didn't have" Oh my god, she's my true love? Right?
"So how many people have you been kissing?" I asked the tone changing to something more serious. I can't let this end like it probably will. I have never really been one to believe in finding your true love and even when I came to Storybrooke and believed in magic I still never pictured it happening to me. Even if I humor the idea I didn't picture it would go down like this.
After all I am the foster kid and getting my hopes up about people actually caring for me (foster parent's, relationships, friendships, etc.) only ends in heartbreak and disappointment.
"Just you" she said to me. I have for a while now known that I have had feelings for her but could they really be love, and not just any love, true love. To be honest the thought scared me. True love means true heartbreak.
"Now what?"
"I don't know… Just go on with life as usual" Regina said and I nodded kind of disappointed. 'See this is why you don't get your hopes up' I mentally lectured myself.
"So we just be miserable for the rest of our lives? Great, that's how I spent the first half, why not the second" I said sarcastically. Why am I still letting myself be disappointed? What did I think was going to happen? Her announce her love for me and us live happily ever after? That's ridiculous!
"It's better than you ending up dead!" She said back obviously worried about me and I didn't know what to do. What does that even me? Why would I end up dead.
"What?"
"I can't have a happy ending, Emma. That's not how it works. That's the price I pay for being the evil queen. I can't risk your life by having feelings for you" Regina said sounding upset.
"Is this because of Daniel? You know that won't happen again?" I said. Is this why we can't be together?
"Not just Daniel! A couple of years ago I was with this girl named Sarah for a few years. I actually really loved her believe it or not and um she was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer they tried to do a mastectomy on her because it was her only chance of living and she died in surgery. I was making myself better for her and Henry and when she died I lost myself again. I can't do that again. Not with you, especially you. I can't lose you and I can't lose our baby." Regina said in tears. I just stood there in stunned silence. I have never seen her like this.
"I'm so sorry" I said and she wiped the tears away.
"But you can't possibly think her getting cancer is your fault"
"Villains can't get happy endings. I shouldn't have let it get to that point, I knew it would end with her getting hurt. It was selfish for me to be with her and i'm not doing the same thing now." she insisted.
"Has it ever occurred to you that maybe her getting cancer is just a tragedy of life and not having anything to do with your past crimes." I said and she blinked away the tears.
"It's not worth the risk" she said before leaving. If she's my true love, which I guess she is, I'm never going to be happy because she's stubborn. She really believes that if we were to get together I will die? That's crazy, right?
Regina
I woke up to the sound of someone puking in the toilet. I groaned and looked at the time. 3:00 am, great. It's probably Emma she hasn't been feeling the best lately because of the pregnancy. It's probably the best that I go help her, you know since I was the one that got her pregnant.
I got up and went over to the bathroom in between me and Emma's room. Sure enough the blonde was leaned over the toilet puking. I got over to her sighing before pulling her hair back and rubbing her back. Once she was done puking she fell back into my arms but I decided against objecting.
"Are you ok?" I asked and she leaned forward and puked again.
"Fucking fantastic since someone decided to get me knocked up" she said irritated and I can't really blame her.
"I'm sorry" I said not sure what you say to that.
"Don't you have magic that can help. I'm constantly nauseous and I just want to sleep" She complained her hand resting on her stomach. Nothing baby safe, for sure, but I still let me hand rest on her stomach too. It felt amazing to be holding her and having my hand over her slight baby bump. Emma rested her head against my chest.
"Thank you" she said. I looked at my hand quick to make sure i'm not accidentally using magic but I wasn't.
"I'M not doing anything but I will get you something for your stomach, go back to bed and I will be up in a minute." I said helping her up. When Henry was sick as I kid I found a, magic free, smoothie recipe that helps an upset stomach. I'm sure it will help the morning sickness. She made it up quick for her and poured a glass of it for her and put the rest of it into a container and put it into the fridge. IF this works I will just make a big amount at one time and keep it in the fridge because I don't want to make it every morning at 3am.
I brought it to the blonde who was sat rubbing her stomach trying to end the nausea. I handed her the smoothie and she looked at me confused.
"Magic free and baby safe, I used to make it for Henry when he was sick and it has nothing you are allergic to" I said and she smiled at me taking the drink. The other day we went over the crazy amount of things she's allergic to so I don't accidentally cause her a serious allergic reaction. When I asked if she has any allergies I wasn't expected to have to make a bulleted list. How does she eat?
"Thank you" she said taking a sip. "This is good"
"If it helps let me know and I will make a huge batch of it and you can just pour a glass when you need it" I said and she nodded.
"Thank you"
"Get some sleep you need it" I said patting her knee before leaving. I guess waking up at 3am is going to be my life for a while. I looked at the clock. 4:35. Great not even an hour and a half before I have to get up. I groaned, Rumples right magic always comes with a price and this is going to exhausting.
Let me know what you think. Sorry about the wait. This story is not that good, I can do so much better, but I started it when I was (and still kinda am) very scatterbrained. Let me know what you think I should do with it. I have a couple ideas, and of course SwanQueen endgame but want to know what you think I should do with it.
